I have a 3ware 9500S-8 RAID card running with Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit server.
The array is not the boot drive.
I added a drive to my array (using the 3ware migrate utility). This expanded my array to 5.4 TB. Ubuntu is not 'seeing' the new space. I understand this is because the partition space hasn't been allocated.
Using gparted, I attempted to expand the partition to take up the full space on the drive.
Gparted fails; I saved the log file, but I can't locate it on my system - not sure where it was put.
Gparted correctly identified the correct size of the drive prior to attempt to extend the partition.
Questions:
Is there a limit on drive size that gparted can address?
Is there another tool I can use to correctly extend the partition and get full use of the array? I don't want to create a separate partition - I'd like to keep it as a single partition.
Any help is appreciated.
Andrew
